Age Based Player
Evaluations
The league is modifying its player evaluation process
for children aged 9 to 14. You are required to register your child for the
division that is age appropriate based on the player's "baseball age" (see
Little League Age Chart to determine your child's
baseball age).
All players aged 9 to 14 will be required to go through
our player evaluation event on January 11th & 12th (9-14 year-olds). We
will then assign the child to the appropriate division based on player
evaluations. For 8 year-olds with advanced baseball skills, you should register
for the Farm Division AND notify our Lower Division Player Agent by January 5th
if you would like to have your child participate in player evaluations so that
they may be considered for our Minors Division.
All 11 and 12 year olds
have first priority in the Majors division. This mean's 8's, 9's and 10's will
be placed in the Minor division if their skills are deemed appropriate for this
division.

January 11th & 12th.
